Itunes won't recognise that I have plugged it into the USB ports.

I have checked my USB ports - and they work fine.
The only problem is that for some unexplicable reason, Itunes has just decided not to recognise that my Ipod is connected whenever I plug it into my laptop. This has just happened all of a sudden.
This very same IPOD was working fine this last month.
Can someone tell me how to get the Itunes program on my computer to recognise that my IPOD is connected so that I can add some songs to it?
I have had so many flipping IPODs break on me. This is a brand new IPOD, and I've only had it for less than a month. How can the company that make IPODs be so evil to people like me. Do they think I have money coming out between my legs? I'm so flipping fed up. I take such good care of IPOD. I never fill it up with too many songs. And for this IPOD, all I have put on it was songs bought through the Itunes website.
So can someone please tell me how to get the Itunes program on my computer to recognise that my IPOD is connected so that I can add some songs to it?
PLEASE!

Hi there,
have you recently updated iTunes since last month?
You maybe also want to check whether "iPodService.exe" is running. To do so, start up iTunes, press CtrlShiftDel and look in the processes (not the application-tab ) for "iPodService.exe". If it isn't listed try to start it manually.

Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How do I get my ipod touch 5th generation to always use my car speakers when I plug it into the USB port?

If the problem occurs after you restore it to factory defaults/new iPod then it is likely a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPhone 5 Bricked after plugging it into the USB port on my AT&T car charger

I plugged my factory USB cable from my iPhone 5 into the USB port on my AT&T car charger and it killed the iPhone 5 dead. I guess I thought since Apple is making a 30 pin converter and that all of my other apple products work this way that it should work...I guess I was wrong!

Not Charge

My iTunes won't register that I have plugged in my iPhone 5.

I got a new iPhone 5 and when I plugged it into iTunes it wouldn't pick up that I had an iPhone connected to the computer. I plugged it in again today and it registered but it wouldn't load or sync. So after that I backed up my iTunes library, deleted iTunes from my computer and reinstalled it.
After this I plugged in my iPhone and I got an error message saying that the computer recognised that an iPhone device was connected to the computer but it wasn't working properly and to reconnect it which I did but now it just isn't registering it again!
What do I do :/
Also, it won't take photos. It'll make the sound and the shutter will close but it won't reopen and nothing will be sent to the album. I also haven't been able to download photos from the internet into the album.

eject before disconnecting
Always drag the iPod icon on the Desktop to the Recyle Bin before removing the iPod from the computer, or in iTunes menu bar click Controls / Eject (name of iPod)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Does anyone use the Veho MUVI mini camcorder? If so how do you download your video from it. I plugged it into the USB port and my Mac doesn't show a removable disc on my desktop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to Mac and am not sure how to get my camcorder to be recognized by ny Mac.

Welcome to the forums.
To get the best array of responses, you should post your question as a new inquiry. Perhaps save yourself the time, however, and do a search on "MPEG Streamclip" in this forum and you'll see a variety of suggestions. Also, here are a couple websites:

WiFi device that plugs directly into the USB slot on a printer?

My next door neighbor has a MacBook with Airport installed. She wants to use the portable around the house and send documents to a printer located in the basement. She does not need a router to network additional devices, so what is the most reliable, reasonably priced device that plugs directly into the printer's USB port without the use of a cable (e.g. device with receiving antenna)? Thanks.

Well, Badunit, it's more convenient and takes up less room if it plugs directly into the USB port, plus you save the cost of a cable unless one ships with the unit. Here are two I found at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Wireless-802-11n-Newtork-Adapter/dp/B002VVITG8/ref =sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1311880281&sr=8-6
http://www.amazon.com/802-11g-Wireless-Long-Rang-Network-Adapter/dp/B0035H4164/r ef=pd_cp_e_4
Trouble is, they have too many negative reviews. Besides, just how well do they work with the Airport Extreme card since most of these reviews are not Mac related, and those that are are negative?
I'd like a device that is guaranteed to work well with the 2008 MacBook Airport card as the broadcast device. Perhaps she will have to rely on a separate Linksys router with print server.

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

IPod Touch 3rd gen 32 GB stuck in recovery mode. iTunes won't restore. When I plug it into iTunes, it calls it an iPhone.

My husband plugged his iPod Touch into the USB port on the computer and, once it charged some, iTunes didn't recognize it as his iPod (calling it an "iPhone" rather than "Ed's iPod"). It said that iTunes had detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that he had to restore it. When he clicked on 'restore' it said, "Software for this phone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again." After a few days (after the battery was fully drained again), I plugged it into a wall charger and it began to charge. I was able to fully see everything still on the iPod and even to access his apps. I let it fully charge, but when I unplugged it, it went black again and now it will not do anything. Back to a black screen and if we plug it into the computer, the same cycle starts again with it being recognized as an iPhone needing to be restored, etc.
UPDATE: So, I let the iPod fully drain again and then plugged it into the computer and iTunes. It saw it as an iPod again and said it was in recovery mode and I was able to tell it to restore it. It went through the entire process, and as the iPod was restarting, it again called it an iPhone in recovery mode. Now I can no longer see the apps and the homepage on the computer but rather it shows the Apple symbols to plug it into iTunes to set it up - but again, says it is in recovery mode but will not restore it.
Someone please help!

I searched the iPod Touch forum for "iphone in recovery mode" and it appears there are two possible solutions:
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore it>

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

Itunes won't recognise that I have plugged it into the USB ports.
